I think the key word here is "directly". No, they may not, even cannot, "directly" contribute land cover to the data server...and why should they need to anyway? In almost every case everyone has access to that same data and if there is no conflicting license issues (and there are) then it can/should already be in the global db by those maintaining it. However, I believe these projects do contribute to the community and the project by showing people flightgear is capable of having nice looking and accurate base scenery, by taking the time to generate that scenery and provide it freely to everyone for use, and also inspiring further scenery work in that area that "does" make it into the global scenery db. --- --- Maybe it's not every ones cup of tea, not aligned exactly with "their" goals or wishes....but I know for a fact a very large number in the community greatly enjoy and appreciate these third party scenery projects. If you don't like it, don't use it, but there is no need for anyone to be a complete douche bag trolling the list critizing other peoples hard work and personal projects. Should we start pissing on third party aircraft as well? Want to piss on Yuriks hard work, or maybe Garys, since the Tu154b and Constellation and others are not in the git package, maybe not licensed to match the git package, and/or just plain better than what's in the git package? There are reasons people may choose to develop as a third party, whether it be scenery, aircraft, or even code. Who are you to criticize them, or make false accusations about how they act, why they do it, or to what level of quality they do it? I have a goal with my own third party Innsbruck scenery project, and have been very open about that goal, the methods and tools I'm using and developing to achieve it, and why I'm doing things the way I'm doing them. If you don't like it, don't use it, no one is forcing you to use it or any other third party project. To criticize other peoples work just because they don't align exactly with your vision, your project, or whatever your real personal reasons..is just petty and plain old fashioned douche baggery....grow up. cheers --Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
